Cleaning Barnacles While Dry Docked is Extremely Satisfying
Sweetest Thing, our Jeanneau Merry Fisher / NC 1095, was out of the water for the 100 hour service on our Yamaha 300s, so we took time to remove barnacles on the trim tabs, bow thruster and a few spots along the hull.

Barnacle Buster worked well to remove the barnacles, there was some user error you can avoid by 1) applying heavily on lower surfaces and 2) pressure wash technique into the center of the barnacles.

Shout out to @CaptainBoomies, whose content caused us to change our pre-trip checklist to test engines and bow thruster while tied at the dock. When you look at barnacle build up on the bow thruster, it reinforces why testing before you untie from the dock is so important.
